Li Maolin was thinking about how to explain to Lu Ping. If Lu Ping was so angry that he deliberately lied about an accidental pill explosion during the Elixir Meet, and the Li Family's result would be zero, there would really be no room for redemption.
Looking at Li Maolin's hesitant expression, Lu Ping did not take it seriously at all. Instead, he admired Li Xiuzhu's courage, so he smiled and said, "Senior Yue only said what I and the Li Family would have to do if you won, but you did not say what you and the Shangguan Family would have to do if I won by luck."
Lu Ping's words seemed to make Yue Jiangrui and the Shangguan Family Master laugh at each other. The two of them looked at each other and laughed. The Shangguan Family Master shook his head hypocritically and said with a pitiful expression, "This young friend's ambition is commendable, but it is better to be humble and cautious. This time, Senior Yue will teach you a lesson. You will definitely benefit from it in the future."
From his words, it seemed that he had already determined that Lu Ping would definitely lose, and did not take Lu Ping seriously at all.
Lu Ping was not angry, and he still said with a smile, "Senior, why don't you tell me what I should do if I lose!"
Shangguan Hao didn't like Lu Ping from the side, and when he saw Lu Ping pestering him like this, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "Kid, do you really think you're someone important? You're just a little alchemist, you're just like an ant, how dare you bargain with Master Yue and my Shangguan Clan!"
Lu Ping did not say anything when he heard this, but looked at Yue Jiangrui with a cold smile. Yue Jiangrui's face immediately turned red.
Yue Jiangrui's original intention was only to threaten Lu Ping. He believed that with his status as the number one alchemy master in the Northern Alliance, he would definitely make Lu Ping back off and apologize to him. As long as he vented the jealousy in his heart, his vanity would be satisfied, and he would not continue to make things difficult for Lu Ping.
However, what he didn't expect was that not only did Li Maolin's daughter accept the bet, but the young man in front of him also began to be arrogant. In the end, Shangguan Hao of the Shangguan family made him even angrier.
Lu Ping's sneer was actually forcing him to take a stand. Yue Jiangrui had no choice but to let out a cold snort and said, "Shangguan Clan Leader, although I, Yue Jiangrui, have received help from the Shangguan Clan many times, it's better for your son to speak less in the future. Could it be that alchemists are really like ants in the eyes of the Shangguan Clan?"
Shangguan Hao was stunned. He didn't know why Senior Yue, who had always been kind to him, suddenly turned against him and blamed him.
Shangguan Hao didn't understand, but it didn't mean that his father was ignorant. Alchemists were a group of practitioners that couldn't be judged by common sense. They could undermine each other, fight among themselves, and look down on others, but they never allowed outsiders to say anything bad about alchemists. Otherwise, they would attack together. One alchemist was not terrible, but the network behind this alchemist was terrible, and a group of alchemists could cause a commotion in the whole cultivation world.
Shangguan Clan Leader turned to Shangguan Hao and scolded, "Boy, how can you, a junior, talk about alchemists? Don't say such words again in the future."
After a pause, as if he was worried, he added, "Even if you have this thought, you can't have it."
Shangguan Hao was scolded for no reason, and Chi Lianying had already laughed heartlessly at the side. He didn't put Shangguan Hao, a Perfected Master, in his eyes at all. Even Li Xiuzhu, who always had a ladylike demeanor, couldn't help but smile.
This made Shangguan Hao, who was on the side, even more ashamed and angry.
At this time, Yue Jiangrui, who was forced by Lu Ping's words, was also in a dilemma. Yue Jiangrui didn't expect Lu Ping to be more extreme than him. He really wanted to use the alchemy furnace as a bet.
Yue Jiangrui didn't think for too long. He had no reason to lose to a young alchemist. He was the one who started this. Once he backed down, how could he endure it?
What's more, at this time, cultivators from other forces began to pass by. They didn't expect to encounter such a good show as soon as they arrived at Qianyuan Mountain. They stopped and pointed at the cultivators on both sides, especially Yue Jiangrui and Lu Ping. At this time, they had become the target of criticism. However, Yue Jiangrui's reputation was obviously not small. Almost all the representatives of the forces knew him. Naturally, in the eyes of most people, Lu Ping was undoubtedly an ant trying to shake a tree, a hot-blooded young cultivator who overestimated himself.
Therefore, Yue Jiangrui was not in a dilemma, but he was in a dilemma. Once he backed down today, there would be no place for him in Donghai in the future.
"Well, if the Old Man loses, you can smash the Old Man's alchemy furnace. The Old Man will never refine pills for others again!" Yue Jiangrui made up his mind and said loudly as if he was swearing something. His old face turned red.
Among the cultivators who passed by to watch the show, some people who wanted to see the world in chaos even shouted loudly, causing the cultivators who went up the mountain from other directions to look at them.
Yue Jiangrui, who was known as the "number one alchemist below the master alchemist", and an unknown alchemist named Lu Jiu, who represented the Li family of Sanjia Island, made a "cauldron-smashing agreement" between alchemists. This news instantly spread to all the major forces on Qianyuan Mountain. Lu Jiu's name was also known to the people of the Northern Alliance for the first time.
Lu Ping smiled. He didn't have the awareness that an alchemist would attach importance to a cauldron-smashing agreement. Instead, he turned to the master of Shangguan family, who was a little stunned because the development of the situation was beyond his expectations, and said, "What did the master of Shangguan family say?"
The master of Shangguan family was like an arrow on a bowstring. He had no choice but to release it. If the Shangguan family wanted to have a foothold in the Northern Alliance in the future, this bet today couldn't be avoided.
The master of Shangguan family was someone who was able to let go of things easily. Moreover, compared to the cauldron-smashing agreement, the bet between the Shangguan family and the Li family was really nothing.
"The Fallen Mystery Land is under the control of the Shangguan family. There is a small vein of high-grade spiritual material, Lava Rock. If the Shangguan family wins this time, this vein will be the betrothal gift for niece Xiu Zhu. If the Shangguan family loses, this vein will naturally belong to the Li family."
When the cultivators in the audience saw the master of Shangguan family being so straightforward, they all cheered.
Shangguan Hao was very anxious. How could anyone make a losing deal like this? He couldn't help but say, "Father, this …"
"Shut up!" The master of Shangguan family shouted in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Qi, the alchemist of the Li family is too arrogant. Yue Jiangrui is known as the number one alchemist below the master alchemist. How could an alchemist who popped out of nowhere compare to him? It seems like the Li family is too arrogant in this Elixir Gathering."
Wang Yishan looked at Li Maolin, Xiu Zhu, and Lu Ping in the distance with a gloating expression.
"Hmph, how can you still laugh? The Shangguan family doesn't have any good intentions. The Shangguan family is growing stronger, and it's already a matter of time before they become a medium-sized power. The Li family has declined, and they don't have any talented descendants. Only Li Xiu Zhu can still hold the fort. Once the Li family loses, Li Xiu Zhu will become the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family. With the Shangguan family as their backing, what can the Wang family and the Zhang family gain? "
"Why does Li Maolin look so unwilling? Isn't this beneficial to the Li family?" Wang Yishan asked embarrassedly.
Senior Brother Qi was too lazy to explain. He looked at the other side. The Elixir Gathering was not going to be simple. The Li family was just an interlude.
